Rep quoted a $29 service fee and then promised to have someone out that same afternoon for an estimate and to fix the problems if I agreed to the estimate.
Sean arrived around 4:00 p.m. and after I explained the problems, he immediately went to work. Within a little over an hour, I had hot water, harder pressure in one of the guest bathrooms, and - most importantly - two working heaters and heat throughout the house! Before he left, he checked the water pressure throughout the house to make sure everything was in working order, inspected the condition of our water heater, and then provided a suggestion to speed up the flow of hot water on the far side of the house, which was a much less expensive option than my original plan to install a tankless water heater.
I spent approximately $205.00 ($115 for service fee and labor, $90 for their "Round Table Membership" plan...and my peace of mind).
Overall, I am very happy with Excalibur Plumbing and appreciate the high degree of professionalism displayed by Sean and the representative who initially answered my call.

The man (Gino Cedillo) did not plan his job very well. When it came time for the final payment, I told him that I will gladly give the final draw once work is fully complete per the contract. He wanted the last draw upfront and I told him this is not the way it works. He was trying to scam more money out of me. Turns out that out of all the money I had already given him, he hadnt even paid his workers. The workers came by my house later and asked if I know where the contractor (Gino Cedillo) was beacuse he still owed them $2000. He had not been paying them - and the whole time he had been requesting draws from me to pay them. The guy (Gino Cedillo) is just a liar. I caught him in so many lies. He told me he had to fire the workers because they were working on another job at my site. I later found out that this was not the case. They werent even being paid by the contractor the whole time, so they just up and left (who can blame them!) Please beware if you ever have a job done by this guy. The bathrrom shower was not even installed correctly. (No hot water, spout is loose) The bathroom floor was not finished. I had to do that on my own. The deck looks good, but there are still loose boards and it is not ven built to city code. He never got a permit from the city either to do all the work. He is just not the kind of person you want to work with, BE WARE OF THIS GUY!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/san-antonio/universal-contractors-of-texas-reviews-2348722.htm"},"position":8}]}

We have a home in Cinnamon Shores, Port Aransas. Next2Natural Turf (James) put artificial turf (along with a putting green) in our backyard. They were very easy to work with. They said it would take 3 days and it did. The yard looks great. No water bills for the backyard now. We are...
Very professional. 2-man crew showed up with all the materials they needed, and did really precise work with all the new gas lines, cutting and threading to fit the perimeter of the house. Connected to gas line and water heater to code, passed inspection no problem.
Contacted them by phone and ask for est to replace water heater. They were very prompt with the est. I ask them when they could do the job, they said next day in the morning. Around 9:30 am they called and told me they were on the way if I would be home. They showed up a few minutes later....

"Landmark Uses Disreputable Contractors ? AZA Repair & Brenovations HVAC Are the Worst
Landmark sent AZA Repair for my refrigerator, and they left it worse than before?still not working, scorch marks from a blowtorch, copper lines sticking out, tools and oil left behind, and no receipt. Then Landmark sent Brenovations HVAC for an AC motor replacement, and that turned into exposed wires, bolts hitting fan blades, missing parts, and complete disregard for safety near my kids? play area. Both companies were unprofessional, negligent, and refused accountability. Landmark?s use of these contractors makes me seriously question the value of having a home warranty at all."

FAQs for water heater service projects in San Diego, TX
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.
It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.
It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
